AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the controversial concept of a Bacon Shake, which combines vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and bacon-flavored syrup—lacking actual bacon. Many participants express strong disapproval, arguing that sweet and salty flavors should not mix, particularly in desserts. Some mention the addictive nature of bacon and similar fatty foods, drawing comparisons to cocaine's effects on the brain. Others share their experiences with various bacon-flavored products, like bacon-flavored cheese popcorn and bacon coffee, often with disgust. Despite the negative reactions, a few participants are open to trying the Bacon Shake, suggesting that salty-sweet combinations can be enjoyable. The conversation highlights a divide between food purists who prefer traditional flavor pairings and those willing to experiment with unconventional food combinations.

I can't believe this thread went almost 4 pages without a post from you. Are you feeling okay, Lisa?

I might try a sip or two but I doubt that I would like it. BTW, a Google image search for the word 'bacon' shows that there are some truly disturbed bacon lovers in the world. I now know that there is bacon chocolate, soap, coffee, jerky, peanut brittle, popcorn, cheese, ketchup, cinnamon rolls, jelly beans, cupcakes, dental floss, toothpaste, alarm clocks...

And, what woman wouldn't swoon over this on Valentines Day?

They should just shorten the name from Jack in the Box to Jack the Reaper

But I do take issue with MoonBear's contention that salty does not belong with the sweet of ice cream. Peanuts, pretzels, chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream. Yumm!
